Step inside the magnificent surroundings of London County Hall and experienc
e the intensity and drama of Agatha Christie’s gripping story of justice, passion and betrayal in a unique courtroom setting.
The Performance
Based on a 1925 short story and much adapted for screens big and small, Christie’s play is easily her most ingenious. The case against Vole seems overwhelming: he astutely befriended the rich old lady who was the victim, inherited all her money and on the night of the crime was seen with blood on his clothes.
The affable Leonard Vole is being tried for the murder of a wealthy woman, and legendary lawyer Sir Wilfrid Robarts has chosen to represent him. Unfortunately, Leonard’s alibi depends on the testimony of his callous wife, Christine – who, after the discovery of a legal loophole, makes the shocking decision to appear in court against him. To Sir Wilfrid’s surprise, this is only the first in a series of puzzling revelations and reversals.
The Cast
The new cast for Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie will be led by television actor Harry Reid as Leonard Vole. Reid is best known for BBC1’s EastEnders. He will be joined by Lucy Phelps (Call the Midwife, Anthony & Cleopatra, King Charles III), Richard Clothier (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Graduate), Julian Curry (The Alchemist, Rumpole of the Bailey) and Peter Moreton (The Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare in Love). Philip Franks (Art, Noises Off, Darling Buds of May) continues in the role of Mr Myers, along with returning cast members Richard Attlee, Jules Melvin and Hywel Simons. Also joining the company will be Charlotte Blackledge, Molly Jackson-Shaw, Parys Jordon, Tyler South, Antoinette Tagoe and Matt Weyland.

We have arranged a two course dinner before the performance at Pizza Express, which is just a short walk away.
